Well, given the host system type, it seems that autoconf may not
be able to distinguish between a i386 and x86_64 solaris system.

checking host system type... i386-pc-solaris2.10

I use isainfo to figure out whether I'm actually x86_64 or i386 for
some other code, but in the meantime, the --disable-nasm worked fine
in compiling libSDL 64-bit for solaris.  I'm working on the port of
the application to make sure it all works, but I'm not finished yet.
